A friend of mine has a Jetta TDI, I think a 2010 with just over 100,000 miles, and he's facing a recommended timing belt change at 120,000 for a cost of about $700 USD. Glad the 1.2 has a timing chain.

oh oh ... i have one. If you don't fully engage the turn signals, but instead just bump them up or down, you get exactly 3 flashes in the direction you bumped it. Not sure if this is a normal car thing, or if i'm just used to driving craigslist special cars.
